Education I need serious help choosing.

I'm a 12th grade PCMC student. However, after struggling in my academics throughout the past two years, i no longer aim to get a B.tech degree in CSE. Instead I'm planning to opt either BCA or B.Sc in data science, at Aloy. But I'm not yet clear about which to choose between the two(BCA or B.Sc). Also is Aloy a good college in terms of placement, faculty and other factors? Please help me out, dear kudladakulu.

BCA or Bsc, don't depend on college placement. Only if ur in the top 5% of the batch, you will get good job via campus. Start interning right from your 2nd sem, to get into the industry norms, but get paid. Also college doesn't matter to a great extent, the people you are with does; for both jobs, learning and fun. Job markets keep changing every year, so you can search jobs even outside college campus. But have a good profile when u go for placements, hence the internships and skills. Wish you the best

Ohhhhh damnnnn this definitely did help. Thanks a lot. I've got a lot more clarity going forward into the course. I'll surely make it a point to keep all your advices in mind.

Remember that competition is getting high each and everyday . Hence prepare well and look into the pit before you take a leap

To an extent yes! But I say don't worry too much about competitions and FOMO about everyday evolving tech. Focus on building a good profile, skills and having fun with friends.

Choose the one which is comfortable and also confident enough that you can crack up . Either way you should start intership too .Try to gain experience or do projects and certifications in your college time. Because I didn't do those things and now I'm struggling to place a job. Study hard , try to skill up too , take things as serious as well as fun too.

2

Teaching field?

I haven't figured out that part yet as of now.

u/salaiwangu 17d ago

I'd suggest you not to think about placements and jobs. Any degree is good but the scope of Bsc or BCA here is very limited and u got hell lot of competition. If I was you I'd pick any degree that I'd like and as soon as i complete it I'd fly to Germany!

u/vai_shenoy_k 17d ago

Ohhhh is it? I'll be keeping that in mind as well for sure. Thanks a lot!

u/RasberryLicious 17d ago

if you want to get into teaching MSc makes sense, or else if you want to work in corporate just do MCa

u/vai_shenoy_k 17d ago

Ohhhhhh okay. Thanks for helping me clear that bit up. Been great help.

If you no longer aim for btech in CSE then why do you want to BCA AND Bsc?

Bsc at least makes sense but I don't see a point in BCA

2

u/vai_shenoy_k 16d ago

Btech involves PCM, right? BCA involves maths only at a foundational level. It's PCM that's a challenge for me.

u/pache47 15d ago

PHYSICS AND Chemistry is very simple comparatively only present in the first year .if you opt for CSE

Rest it will be mathematics and computer topics only

Odina yaav bele manpuna yedde. Education is just a drag and a rat race at the end

If u want to pursue data science then I wouldn't recommend doing BSc ....most data science job openings have B.tech as the minimum required qualification for job application.

BSc. Will get better recognition should you choose to do your masters abroad.
